The halo is also on the original jpeg. I shoot Raw+Jpeg.

Billyspad,

Referring to your statement above, the haloing is on the first copy of the .jpg image, and not on the RAW copy. This indicates the camera may be over processing the RAW into .jpg.

You may want to check your camera manual settings for sharpness, or any other PP auto adjustments that may have been made, or scale back some factory settings.

This comes from my Canon Rebel camera where there are several user adjustments that can override the factory preset image captures. There are several "Picture Style" adjustments on the back of the camera, there are "Customized" settings through user selectable menus on the LCD screen; one of which can alter sharpness.

Because you are shooting and capturing in RAW + .jpg you can evaluate the captures between camera processed images and no processing. You can also make a simple test on another subject with similar back lighting, but this time use manually bracketed exposures to capture a series of images.

Manually bracketed because all you need is to enhance the haloing effect between the darker tree branches and the lighter sky background. Under-exposing the captures will illuminate the problem much easier than with normal exposures, and you won't need any PP on the computer.

Using Aperture Priority (Av) should be the easiest way to make manual bracketed exposures.

Well, I like the composition...as usual, but your touch with HDR is exceptional in this photo. While the scene isn't that contrasty you do bring it out to it's best. I'd say great job.


I like the result a lot and am a big fan of HDR no halos. I think halos are some times just like chromatic abortions at areas of high contrast transition my avitar is an HDR comprised of 9 images and the halo around the tree is obvious. Beautiful shot

Just to prove my obsession with the automobile is firmly under control something a little different to titillate the taste buds and assault the senses.
A tiny fishing village in southern Luzon about 10 klms from where I lived until recently. If I'm honest probably not an obvious candidate for HDR so your comments will reveal if it works or should it be left as a "normal" photograph with a little bit of PP work?

3 exposures and usual bag of tricks to get end result


Gorgeous results ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
